MagnumBookworm said: You probably will. Although I like the Shield much more than the Wire, personally, I think the Wire is overrated. They do draw a lot of comparison among fans, which I actually wasn't aware of till I finished the Shield. An 11/10 show can't be overrated (/fanboy), but serious matters aside you made me really wanna watch The Shield. Finally finished Lost yesterday too (yeah, the ending really sucked as much as everyone said. Congrats to the writers -.-) so nothing's in the way of starting season 1 soon. Oh, and anyone has thoughts on the second Sherlock episode? I really miss Moriarty/any kind of villain that is a challenge this season. |

I really miss Moriarty/any kind of villain that is a challenge this season. Definitely, it's still entertaining and well done, it's just more s-o-l than mystery if you know what I mean. Two episodes without a big case just feels off. I hope episode 3 delivers on that front. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Oh Justified, how I missed you <3. Walton Goggins is one of my favorite actors on TV, and his portrayal of Boyd Crowder just makes the character all that much greater. Also watched Sons of Anarchy's Pilot. I loved Sutter's work on the Shield, so I figured I'd give this series a go. Wasn't disappointed :). Higashi_no_Kaze said: An 11/10 show can't be overrated (/fanboy), but serious matters aside you made me really wanna watch The Shield. To be fair though, I was watching the Wire at a break-neck pace, and managed to finish the first season. I still thought it was good, but I do plan to go back and give it a proper re-watch after I forget the details Finally finished Lost yesterday too (yeah, the ending really sucked as much as everyone said. Congrats to the writers -.-) so nothing's in the way of starting season 1 soon. Lost....I dread the day I start that monster. i watched the first 3 eps a long time ago, but I couldn't make sense of the story. So when i get back to it, I plan to just completely ignore the story and focus entirely on the characters. zoknimano said: The lack of an intellectual rival is indeed a problem, but I think they are pushing the fanservice and bromance way too hard, and both episodes seemed to lack perspective.

And thanks to the pushing bromance, I really couldn't help but keep thinking Sherlock might be gay for Watson. Now I'm not sure if you guys have seen the preview yet for the third episode, but I think we'll all be getting a return to form if it is to be believed. |

| I just finished watching the first season of Orange is the New Black. I'm a bit surprised, I didn't think I wouldn't enjoy it that much when I started it, but those girls are a lot of fun. |
| Finished the second season of Breaking Bad. Fucking brilliant. 4th season of Walking Dead is more of a guilty pleasure... I'm planning to watch Suits and Sherlock in the distant future. Anime does tend to get in the way. |

| Lately, I have been listening to "The Men from the Ministry." It is a radio sitcom (basically like a TV series without the visuals) from the UK that focuses on incompetent but lovable government bureaucrats who bungle everything they touch. It started its long run in 1962, and the last regular UK episodes were made in 1977, but spin-offs in other countries continued after that. The episode I just listened to, the eighth episode of the fourth series (April 7, 1968), was hilarious; it featured the bureaucrats' ancestors on a trip to the Wild West, where they attempted to introduce British-style rules and regulations into a typical Wild West town. They made the hitching posts into parking meters, had somebody's horse towed away, and attempted to restrict the operating hours of the saloons. |
| It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. |
| Ah, last season of Boardwalk Empire is this year. Ironic, 'cause I just finished the latest season a couple of days ago. |
| |
| started watching Lost. Why haven't I started it earlier? |

| Currently finishing up season 4 of Breaking Bad, very very good, should be finished soon Not planning to watch a great deal in the future, but a couple on my mind are The Walking Dead and Firefly. Are they any good? I believe they're quite highly rated but are they worth it? |
| Firefly is great because of the characters and humour, it was cancelled, damn you! but it's episodic, so it's not that big a problem. TWD has its ups and downs, I lost interest a while ago, but it's the most watched on cable, so yeah, I don't know, give it a try. Candor said: The Tudors for somewhat accurate. Spartacus, Vikings, The Borgias are entertaining. Merlin for fantasy. Legend of the Seeker and The Pillars of the Earth maybe, I haven't seen them yet.Can someone recommend me some historical TV-series? Whether they're accurate or fantasy. Already watched Game of Thrones and gonna start Rome. If you are fine with more recent times, these are really good: Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, Hatfields & McCoys, Carnivàle, Ripper Street, Deadwood, A Young Doctor's Notebook, Peaky Blinders. Most of them are only historical in setting though. |

| Spartacus is amazing. I am one of the few who really didn't like the Pilot, but the second ep really stepped up the series. Definitely one of my favorite TV series. Hell, the series has one of the best endings I've ever seen. Never before did I actually feel the need to cheer during a show until Spartacus went into that final battle, but I couldn't in fear of causing a disturbance through the whole house. Just finished ep 3 of Sons of Anarchy, and it looks like Dutch Boy is gonna be gunning for the Sons :o. He was great in the Shield, so I can't wait to see his work here. |
| |
| The Wire, I watched the first season a while ago and I absolutely loved it but for some reason I haven't continued. Of course, I'll need to start over to remember all the details... |
| Just finished watching the third season Game of Thrones. Season 4 is months away, enough for me to start reading the first three books. Dat red wedding tho :I |

|
| The only show I'm currently watching is New Girl, but there are several shows I'm waiting to resume which include Arrow, Mob City, The Walking Dead and House of Lies. Two shows I plan on starting soon are Boardwalk Empire and The Wire. |

And the new Sherlock episode was greatly entertaining, but the mystery lacked depth imo. |

| Supernatural <3 |
KawaiJustsu said: Supernatural <3 + started rewatching from Season 1 until Season 9, currently on Season 1 episode 12 :D |
| S H O U T _ O L D _ B U T _ G O L D |
| Walking Dead Game of Thrones CSI That's about it. |
| Finished the Pilot for Orphan Black. It was good overall, and holds great promise. I was surprised that one of the characters also voiced Vaas in Far Cry 3. I could recognize his voice from anywhere. |
| |
| The only shows I've watched with interest are Supernatural and Game of Thrones |
 |
| I can't wait for True Detective tonight! HBO regularly kills it, and i'm first in line to ck out this drama |
| Game of Thrones season 4 trailer is here :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_YktnQRGB8 |
| ^Oh dear... I think I'm gonna watch this a few times until April, haha. So many scenes from the book I want to see. So many characters. Kirie_Himuro said: Freaks and Geeks is such a charming little show! But I knew nothing about My So-Called Life. On my endless PTW list it goes.I watched "Freaks and Geeks" and "My So-Called Life" awhile ago. They're actually 90s teen shows and that's really not usually my sort of thing but the character interactions are likeable. Also, for the fact I'm pretty sure people will remember and know of people like they are. |

BlueKite said: Game of Thrones season 4 trailer is here :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_YktnQRGB8 that was hot. i was so glad i parked my ass on the couch in time to catch it. btw, since i mentioned it earlier, i thought True Detective was pretty awesome. Its dense with characterization and story, but unexpected in many ways. |
| I am looking forward to watch True Detective, but I physically can't pick up any more shows, especially ongoings. BTW if anyone is interested, the song from the GoT trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwT3DIIXWNA A good choice for the trailer, but effective on it's own too. |
|
| Thanks for talking about True Detective, didn't know about it but will definitely give it a try soon! Also looking forward to watching the last Sherlock episode tonight. Still unsure what I'll pick up next. Either The Shield or Rome I guess. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Reminded me of the movie Zodiac, except with a weaker story and better characters. i thought it was woven very tightly, without snapping. we'll see how it goes, but i think its gonna be good. script is ace, imo |
| still waiting for The Walking Dead and Person of Interest new season to end so i can do a marathon.... :) currently watching South Park and Big Bang Theory's new season.. |
 |
| I also saw the Pilot of True Detective.It seems it will be really promising. The characters are very interesing, and the atmosphere is also a good point. I liked the minimal use of music, it was funny to notice that Woody Harrelson also had a role in a movie with a minimal use of music: No Country For Old Men. |
| Finished Under The Dome... not very satisfied with the finale, but still can't wait for the second season. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| As I thought, ep 3 of Orphan Black kicked the series up a notch. But that’s just icing on the cake considering dat Shameless premiere. |
| |
| Shameless is an incredibly underrated show. I only found out about it thanks to a friend's undying love for it. And speaking of Archer, I'm on season 2 atm. Funny stuff. |
| |
| Just watched the first episodes of Girls (DVR) S.3 i forgot how much i love those hateful, selfish little bitches. Adam rocks. Tho I do want to murder Marnie and Shoshana. I suppose thats part of the charm? ... lol |
| Are you guys talking about the american remake or the original Shameless? I just looked it up and found out there are two versions. |
